The Rain

The Rain

the night was filled with wind and rain

tree limbs swayed to and fro

leaves waved an irreversible good bye

raindrops frolicked atop the roof

shadowy nebula masked themselves midst the dark

peeping stars momentarily brought themselves to life 

the falling rain invisible to the eyes

moonlit threads of water sporadically appeared

spirits taunted the wet blades of grass

weeds grew impassioned by the haunted souls

worms subdued by the intoxicating apparitions

hooting owls screeched in secret code 

the tears of heaven had nourished all of death’s remains 

hydrated the winded ashes and transformed the dust

washed away the scars left behind by you and I

welcomed a new day with a fresh scent of life

Thank you,
Joseph Pede
